"Many artists with AIDS die twice: first when illness forces them to discontinue the creative activity which has defined their life and given it meaning; second, when their biological functions cease. The Archive Project is an attempt to provide professional services, which can help forestall that first death." Frank Moore (1953-2002), Artist and Co-Founder of The Archive Project
